Timo Werner transfer hint?

Werner has been speaking to Sky - and Liverpool might take note of his comments.

He is quoted as saying: “I think that I have the potential and possibilities to play for a big team.

“I just think there are different procedures [at a big club]. When you say that you must become champions, you must go far in the Champions League, and when you must win the cup.

“When you use the word ‘must’, the pressure is completely different and much greater.”

But he added: “I still have to learn to be 100 percent there every game and to know that every game is about winning the championship in the end.”

The full interview is set to be released tomorrow...

Klopp's other fume, Mane avoids punishment

Ian Doyle looks through the moments missed from Liverpool’s 2-1 win over Bournemouth.

Jurgen Klopp was somewhat agitated for parts of the game on Saturday. And not just due to the strange decisions of the officials.

Towards half-time, the Reds boss was deep in discussion with assistant Pep Lijnders in the dugout, pointing animatedly back and forth between a nearby screen and the pitch.

Whatever it was, it clearly had an effect as Liverpool secured a much-needed victory, prompting the return of the manager’s famed triple fist-pump towards the Kop.

This time, though, Klopp mixed it up a bit by then aiming another treble salvo at the Main Stand. Keeping us on our toes, Jurgen.

Reds have the most arrogant fans claims survey

Surveys and polls eh? Recent elections have shown them to be about as reliable as a chocolate fireguard but the Express have cited one from LiveFootballTickets.com that says Liverpool’s fans are the most arrogant among England’s leading clubs for what it’s worth.

“I feel like my last two years of loans have been good and this one has been positive for me as well.

“I’m finally in the Premier League which is what I’ve worked towards.

“In the summer I will be concentrating on Wales but once that is done, I may have a decision to make.”

Jake Humphrey then asked Wilson whether his plan is to stay at Liverpool, to which he replied: “Yeah.”

Cole taunts Reds over recent losses

Liverpool returned to winning ways against Bournemouth yesterday but their recent losses have prompted Manchester United treble winner Andy Cole to stick the boot into his former club’s old foes.

Cole was part of the United team that won the Champions League, Premier League and FA Cup back in 1999 - a feat that the Reds will now be unable to match - and has pointed out that despite Jurgen Klopp’s side still being on course to win the title with a record number of points, they have actually lost more games this term than he and his counterparts did over two decades ago.

Sterling warning to Reds

Raheem Sterling has told his former club Liverpool to expect a reaction from Manchester City next season as the Reds close in on their first Premier League title.

Yesterday’s 2-1 win over Bournemouth ensures Jurgen Klopp’s men need just three more victories to clinch their first League Championship since 1990.

“I wouldn’t say we let it (the title) go too easily. In our first season [winning the league under Pep Guardiola] we scored a lot of late goals and we kind of built momentum throughout the season and this season we’ve had little decisions that go against you.

“They (Liverpool) have been consistent and we’ve been slacking and we haven’t kept our standards that we know we can keep. From now until the end of the season we need to try and win every single game and whatever happens, happens.

“We won the league twice in a row. They’re winning the league at this moment in time but I’m pretty sure, come the end of the season, when our boys go away and come back again, we’ll be very hurt - if they do pick up the league - and we’ll be up and running next season, for sure.”

Atletico star - Reds dip in form has no influence on Champions League tie

Atletico Madrid midfielder Koke has dismissed the notion that Liverpool’s poor run of form gives his side the edge ahead of their Champions League last 16 tie at Anfield.

The Spanish outfit will take a 1-0 lead to Merseyside with Jurgen Klopp’s side having to come from behind against lowly Bournemouth yesterday to win 2-1 after losing three of their previous four matches.

“We go to Liverpool with confidence, as there is a place in the last eight at stake.

“They are a great team, and it will be very difficult.

“We have to learn lessons from the defeat in Turin last year, as it will take a great effort to go through.

“Liverpool are going to be champions in England, and of course I would like Atletico to be at that level.

“Yes, they have lost games, but that has no influence on the Champions League.”

Fowler makes Gerrard 'agenda' claim to rubbish theory

Robbie Fowler has jumped to the defence of fellow Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard and reckons anyone who claims the Rangers boss has lost the dressing room is talking “rubbish”.

The Daily Record write that Rangers are set to miss out on silverware for a second successive domestic season under Gerrard’s watch after a wretched run of results but Fowler believes their exploits in Europe should count for something

The stuttering start to 2020 has led to claims that some players have downed tools but the Brisbane Roar boss believes everyone in the dressing-room remains 100 per cent behind his former team-mate.

Fowler, speaking in his Sunday People column, said:

“I see lots of people who are clever and understand the game, but also a hell of a lot of people who simply don’t have a clue.

“Even from a distance, I can sniff out the rubbish.

“Like the suggestion he’s lost the players.

“Absolute rubbish. Honestly,

“I don’t have to speak to him to know that’s wrong, hopelessly wrong.

“I watched how Rangers played against Braga in the last round of the Europa League and I could see a team that has got every ounce of belief in what the ­boss is doing. They have clearly bought into what he wants.

“They have reached the last 16 for the first time since 2011 – and gone further than Celtic, who played weaker opposition – ­because Steven has got them playing the right way and ­sticking together.

“I’m not defending him because we were team-mates. I’m arguing that there is no perspective any more.”

A ball hadn’t even been kicked and already James Milner was barking out the orders.

“Everything we do, highest tempo!” he told his team-mates as they warmed up in front of a slowly-filling Anfield.

With Jordan Henderson still missing, Milner – in at left-back for the absent Andy Robertson – assumed the armband from Virgil van Dijk.

And, in terms of experience and leadership, it soon became evident why Liverpool had missed the vice-captain during their recent wobble.

Milner led by example, contributing at both ends with a trademark hard-working effort in a position he cheerfully admits he doesn’t enjoy.

Nor was he averse to telling referee Paul Tierney what he thought during a lamentable first-half performance from the official.

An old head, tough, doesn’t necessarily equate to old legs.

And it was the 34-year-old showing the necessary presence of mind and agility to race back and clear acrobatically off the line after Ryan Fraser’s lob had beaten Adrian for a potential Bournemouth equaliser.

It’s not an action that will trouble the scoresheet, but was effectively worth a goal.

From a thundering tackle on former Red Dominic Solanke to a pointed post-match clenched fist towards the Kop, this was Milner in his element.

Does Jurgen Klopp dare now drop him for Atletico Madrid?

Vinicius Speaks

Benfica forward Carlos Vinicius admits he is flattered to be linked with Liverpool.

The 24-year-old has 20 goals and 12 assists in 35 games in all competitions this season and has been touted with a potential switch to Anfield.

When asked about the possibility of signing for the Reds, Vinicius told Record via Sport Witness: “Liverpool? I’m happy, but I focus on the present.

“I’m happy, because I know that’s a result of the daily sweat. But the focus is on the present. I’m leaving tomorrow to the right moment.

“[I am] very happy at Benfica, which is a great club, with 100% focus.

“Although it’s the best moment of my career, I know that if I stay focused, I’ll achieve even more. That’s what motivates me.”
